Well apparently people over here don't really care about anybody but themselves. Sorry to those who really aren't. I'm not clueless. Let me put it like this: you just bought a device and a week later they no longer support it and it cost you 500$ lets just say. And week goes by and theres a newer version.

How do you feel? If you were a developer would you do that to your loyal audience?

Because i'm damn sure people would say Sayonara to you! Just look at Samsung and how they had lost a huge amount of loyal people just because of their issues with the Samsung Moment plus other issues not regarding phones and just their customer service alone.

Dear Friends

I am using unlocked Tmobile HD2 in India

Now if I flash it with custom ROMs will it again lock it to the Tmobile network

Please help me friends if some precautions to be take for flashing

Thanks
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] samsamuel:
No, dont worry, once unlocked it cannot be re locked.

Do NOT try to flash any stock roms except tmous stock rom. Example never flash the stock India rom,,, all stock roms will destroy your phone. Only use roms that say " tmous compatible," or "leo1024" or similar.

hd2 rom update

Hi, i use an US t-mobile HD2 in Hungary. Its unlocked.

ROM version: 2.13.531.1. I like to update the rom to 3.14

I found on t-mobile's site some instructions, and the new rom.

My question is: when i update ROM with original t-mobile ROM(3.14), can it be re locked?? Thanks (sorry for my bad english)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Mister B:
No it will not be relocked by flashing a new ROM (stated many times in many threads including this one)

If flashing you would be best looking at Energy 29017 custom ROMs unless you have a very good reason to want flash original ROM.

Custom ROM is superb & functions far better than any latest operator build.

I had T-Mobile 3.14 & flashing to Energy 23699 build ROM is like jumping forwards 2 years in software development (probably closer to a decade at MS development speed)

Hi there,

i am running a HTC LEO Branded by Vodafone on Win Mobile 6.5 Professional.

Rom Version 3.14.162.5 (04666) GER

Radio 2.15.50.14

I was doing a Vodafone branded Rom-update 2 days ago.

Everything was fine just one thing went bad.

Before I was doing the update, I was connected with 2 wlan-server.

one server is based at home, one is based at work.

After the update I can´t see my wlan-server at work any more.

connecting with the server at home is allright and I also can see the wlan-servers of my neighbours but I can´t see my wlan-server at work even if I´m standing right in front of it. (On our laptops we can see the server and my friends also see the server with their smartphones).

Any Idea what I can do??

I tried to connect manually - no success

I tried to delete the connection - no success

I can´t even see the wlan-server in the list.

Is there any chance to change/delete something in the registry??

I tried to solve the topic with the help of htc but they have no idea because some server can be seen......

:-((

please help me!!

[G Tablet General] fiso-ix:
Just got my G-Tablet off of WOOT and wanted to let everyone know that it shipped with version 1.1-3389. Just thought I would ease everyones mind around here.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A few others have said the same - thanks! 3389 is a good baseline for mods, FYI.

3588 is what you'd get with the OTA updater, and I would actually recommend doing that first - 3588 came out in January and is a pretty rock-solid stock ROM. It's an even better baseline than 3389, imo. And the 3588 recovery is the only recovery that works with the 3991 UAT, so it might be a requirement for future stock ROMs. We don't know this for a fact yet, but better safe than sorry. :)
[G Tablet General] mrschwarz:
The first thing mine did was update to 1.1-3588. I'm off to figure out how to get the Market on it.
[G Tablet General] poqeteer:
Well apparently there will be a second batch, which I guess mine will be a part of, so there is still a chance for 3991 to still be used. :confused:
[G Tablet General] Tonydiv:
Just because you're in the second batch to be processed doesn't mean that it's a second batch of tablets. I seriously doubt that they would (or are even could) send out orders based on the build date (oldest units first). The warehouse guys just didn't get to print out your shipping label before the end of their shift.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm guessing they are all 3389 - I'm sure they work off the same image.

However, I'd check it anyway - better safe than sorry, imo. :)
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
Yeah I agree your tablet will be like the rest from woot!!!! So if we even see 3991 it will be a ota update!!!!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you see 3991 on your Woot tablet, please tell us immediately. I would very shocked at this point if that happened, but then again I didn't expect 3389 either. I really thought they were going to be 3588.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
One of the woot staffers gave an unofficial update the day after the purchasing ended and said that they were getting a rush shipment on Monday from the vendor to fulfill the second half of the orders. So they are physically a separate set from the first batch.
[G Tablet General] theroblog.com:
Just FYI, I got mine today and it was 3389.

Is there a point to doing the update?

Going to flash Vegan and the 5.1.1 add on now.

I copied the update.zip and all the files off the Gtab before I did anything. I'm betting that's a restore to 3389.

Edit: Updater-script says it's 3389.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's not a requirement, but I think it's a good idea to flash to 3588 first. The reason is that you'll get the latest bootloader and recovery, which ROMs like VEGAn don't touch.

Recovery is the one that concerns me, as 3588 recovery seems to be a kind of "gateway" recovery that might (and I stress "might") be needed to get you to a future firmware level. So, imo, I would flash to 3588 first, THEN start using ROMs if you want. It's a safer bet, again imo.

Thanks for the confirm on that update.zip -- sounds like it's stock 3389, like you mentioned.
[G Tablet General] modru2004:
received my tablet from woot today. ill post back as soon as its charged and powered up with the version.
[G Tablet General] cbay:
I am new to all this, so excuse me for some newbie questions.

Most of the walkthroughs to install a moded ROM, seem to install Clockworkmod first. How is that different from what you call "recovery" here. Will it replace the stock 3588 recovery? Or by the "3588 recovery" do you mean the bootloader part that calls the Clockworkmod. Is there a way to install a ROM without Clockworkmod? This is specifically for 3588.

I ask because I see some discussions about TNT Lite 5 where it seems to break with Clockworkmod. So if we want to get to TNT Lite 5 in the near future, should we now install Clockworkmod?

I am asking this specifically for the woot buyers who it looks like get 3389->3588

Any pointers would be very helpful.

thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Clockworkmod is non-vendor third party recovery replacement, wheras "standard recovery" is stock recovery (this is what the vendor supplies).

TNT Lite 5 was pulled after about a week, due to more than a few issues where users were soft bricking their devices. Going on metrics I tried to compile, the majority of the problems stemmed from the use of clockworkmod, thus my reasoning for not recommending its use anymore. This is despite the fact that the update it was based on was a non-released firmware. I will explain further. Btw, we are seeing similar issues over in the Notion Ink Adam forums in notioninkhacks.com, for the same exact reasons (clockworkmod).

In the case of the GTAB, the vendor (Viewsonic) adds the bootloader.bin to its stock update firmware. And it has been updated at least twice tmk - once in a November firmware update, once in a December firmware update. And also with this 3991 UAT update, but for the sake of argument we won't count that one. But they have updated it in released firmware.

But clockworkmod users do not get that update, as the program doesn't support updating the bootloader.

3388 to 3588 seems to have the same bootloader so, for the short term, using clockworkmod is probably OK. But there is no guarantee that a future update will not require a bootloader change. Again, we have already seen this happen with the NI Adam, and also the Viewsonic non-released UAT. So, with all that being said, I cannot recommend Clockworkmod as a flashing tool.

I've actually kept TNT Lite 5 (which is now TwoTapsX) on ICE specifically because of the expected surge of new Woot users. The last thing I want to happen is for a large number of inexperienced users with mixed information to flash that firmware with the wrong tool (clockworkmod) and then soft-brick their device.

I actually require clockworkmod for my gADAM mod because that mod requires a user data wipe, which standard recovery does not support. But gADAM has a "Recovery Pack" built-in - what this does is allow the user to easily flip between standard recovery and clockworkmod, as needed. Since gADAM is a 1.1-based mod, the use of clockworkmod to flash it is low risk. But if you later flashed to a mod that might require a new bootloader, the Recovery Tool allows you to put standard recovery back before you flash again.

I know this is all very confusing - believe me, it is for me as well. Suffice is to say that modded ROMs are risky business and you should read the instructions very carefully before proceeding. I have started to add the firmware type in my own ROMs as a guide - "1.1" for example. So, a "1.1" to "1.1" firmware mod change should be a low risk, for example. Right now, most of the stock ROMs and probably all the modded ROMs are "1.1" based.
[G Tablet General] eak0703:
If it is possible, maybe some admin could update the last message in the thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006571) you had posted on woot's discussion page. Either link here, or just update and say: hey, people got some woot gTabs in already and they are the 3389 version.

I read this above post, but have not received my woot gTab (so no idea what version I'm getting). Good thing I searched first and found this post. Just to put my mind at ease :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
i can't update it as the moderators locked it (trust me, I want to update it). I already PM'd jerdog to either open it up or delete it, as I don't think it's needed anymore. I'm not a moderator so I cannot do this, myself.

[G Tablet General] cbay:
Thanks for the detailed answer Roebeet!

CWM not updating the bootloader is the main problem isnt it?

Also that it overwrites stock recovery.(True?)

If CWM overwites stock recovery, reverting to 3588 using CWM, might still not enable things like OTA update, right?

So, I see that CWM will work with current ROMS (except TNT Lite 5) and everyone will be happy till the newer ROMS come along based on 3991 or later. At that point, it will become a lot harder for people to get to the new ROM as the new bootloader will have certainly changed.

Alternatively, if people wait for a Viewsonic 3991 or later OTA update from Viewsonic, CWM will work again for some time until the bootloader changes significantly. (possibly).

So how does one get a new ROM without CWM?

I have searched some on the forums and I see

1. Use CWM, but comment out some "assert". This was used by people reverting to stock, and seems sketchy.

2. Use nvflash. Is there a walkthrough for this for Vegan/TNT Lite? I see one for going to bekit 's original image but not to any arbitrary ROM. Also this repartitions the SD, has this caused problems with OTA updates?

3.Using adb. Maybe 2 and 3 are related, but I think did see somewhere to get back to stock recovery using adb. Can we do a new rom update through adb, without risking breaking stock recovery?

I wish I had bought 2 gtablets, one to enjoy and one to tinker with :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Correct.

Yes, they cannot co-exist. Stock recovery (specifically 3588) will update the bootloader, I've tested this repeatedly. clockworkmod .8 does not.

Not exactly. If you have cwm and revert to stock 3588, you might not have the latest bootloader (since clockworkmod doesn't touch that) but everything else should be reverted back to stock. But an important note: I've heard stories from users who used clockworkmod to revert to 3588 stock and, although it worked, recovery was actually broken. This happened to a lot of users who were trying to get back to 3588 stock before they upgraded to my later-pulled TNT Lite 5. This is actually the reason why I created the 3588 Recovery Pack.

Possibly. Lets assume for a moment that the new firmware is a released "1.2" with a new bootloader. Once everyone moves off the "1.1" to "1.2", the issues with the bootloader will probably stabilize. Until there's a "1.3", of course.

And yes, this is all speculation. Viewsonic could throw us a curve balll with their next firmware.

Right as the Wooters were buying their GTABs, I did a few things to help users out with recovery options.

1) I created a "3588 Recovery Pack". This is a flash update.zip that will add few sripts to your rooted 1.1-based ROM and will allow you to flip between clockworkmod and 3588 stock recovery with a minimum of fuss.

2) I added the Recovery Pack to TNT Lite 4.3.0 and gADAM 1.3.0, the two active mods that I support. So it's built-in there.

nvflash is a different animal. Think of it as a low-level format tool for when your device is messed up and cannot boot anymore. It's good to know about it and learn how to use it, imo - some devices like the Advent VEGA and even Viewsonic's Viewpad10s offer nvflash updates, only. nvflash is a tool specifically for Tegra 2 devices.

adb is a generic "remote shell" tool that is part of the Android SDK. You can find information about adb here or on other Android sites, and that would apply to the GTAB as well. you can make changes via adb, including flash updates, but you need to know what you're doing.
[G Tablet General] cbay:
That is great! I dont think I will have the patience to wait for Viewsonic to release an update beyond a few weeks.

I was debating between Vegan and TNT Lite, the Recovery Pack will push me towards TNT Lite, at least till I can get a 1.2 bootloader.

Thanks for all the help

If you just have one bad block, that's normal. Having a single bad block is heavy on a NAND chip. When manufacturers release their chips (Samsung in our case), there will be one or two bad blocks in the chip always, either intentionally or through manufacturing.
